Across the United States, the impacts of climate change are already in
evidence and projected future impacts will have significant
consequences. The range of possible future climate conditions demands a
new paradigm for managing and protecting our people, resources, and
infrastructure. The panel report, Adapting to the Impacts of Climate
Change, urges consideration of a variety of potential climate futures
and associated impacts for which we must prepare, some well outside the
realm of current experience. The report calls for a national adaptation
strategy to support and coordinate a decentralized network of adaptation
efforts.
